Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 1251 Counting Meibian

He took out the big string of money collected in the morning from his pocket and put it on the square table with mottled patent leather. The young man saw the cloth bag returned by the previous monk.

The cloth bag was still neatly folded and clean, which seemed out of place with this ancestral hall full of dust.

The young man raised his arm, smelled it with his nose, frowned, dragged out the basket under the square table, rummaged through it, and finally walked out of the ancestral hall with a bunch of old clothes in his hand, and walked behind the mountain.

There are several clear streams behind the mountain, two of which pass through Jinyun Village, and then merge with the others, go down the mountain behind the ancestral hall, and all flow eastward into the sea.

At this time, people in Zhuangzi either went to the mountains or went to the fields, and no one came to the stream.

But when the young man walked to the stream, he still looked around carefully to make sure that there was no one there, so he carefully untied the belt knot tied around his waist, and took off his clothes.

The clothes were off, revealing fair and delicate skin and slender bones.

The young man walked towards the river step by step, dripping round blue stones.As the water got deeper and covered his chest, a handful of long black hair floated in the current.

The sun hadn't risen yet, and the stream was still cold. When he first entered the water, the young man shuddered a few times, but the young man knew that his body was not expensive, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and gradually got used to it.

The stream is clear and cold, and the sun shines in through the forest, the water gradually warms up, and it feels comfortable when it flows over the skin.

The young man narrowed his eyes and hid his whole body in the water, even though there was no one there, he was still cautious.

Because underwater is the figure of an exquisite and graceful young woman.

That's right, the young man is not a man, she is a girl, and she has a nice name, Ji Meibian.

Although Ji Meibian lives in the Jinyun clan's ancestral hall, she is not from the Jinyun clan.

Ji Meibian had never seen her father since she could remember. She took her mother's surname. Since she learned to walk, her mother raised her as a son. The two of them depended on each other for life in this Jinyun Temple.

When my mother was alive, she made a living by doing needlework for others.The mother's needlework is notoriously beautiful, and the women in Jinyun Village can't match it. Almost all the girls who get married in Jinyun Village ask their mother to tailor their dowry.

But her mother didn't ask Ji Mei to learn sewing from her. Her mother made her a man's clothes and forced her to go to the mountains to cut firewood and hunt. As a result, the two of them lived next to Jinyun Village for so long, and no one knew that she was a girl. .

The year her mother died, she was told to take an old handkerchief and knock on the corner door in the back alley of Canglang Palace.

The people in the corner gate saw the veil, they were silent for a while, and asked what Ji Mei was going to do next.

Ji Mei said that he could chop firewood and hunt.

The person in the corner door was silent for a while, and told her that a bundle of firewood would be delivered the next day, and it would be delivered to that corner door.

From then on, Ji Meibian sent a bundle of firewood to that gate every other day, regardless of the weather, whether it was cold or hot, wind or rain.

The people in the corner door always collected firewood on time, paid the money now, never defaulted, and never picked on the quality of the firewood she sent.

Probably because the other party was trustworthy, Ji Mei was also very serious about choosing firewood, hoping to be worthy of the salary offered by the other party.

In a flash, it has been five years since her mother passed away. She used to complain that her mother raised her poorly, but gradually, Ji Meibian also accepted such a poor but stable life.

As she grew older, she began to understand her mother's intentions. Her mother helped her arrange her future livelihood as soon as she was born.

Although she didn't even know the connection between her mother's old veil and the most noble palace in Canglang City.

This incident was brought into the coffin by the mother...

After taking a bath, Ji Mei climbed ashore and put on her clothes, washed the clothes that had been drenched in the rain last night, and cleaned up the wild rabbit that was left, and went back to Jinyun Temple with the clothes and the rabbit.

As soon as she entered the door with her front foot, the door of the ancestral hall was kicked open from the outside.

Come in a more than 40 year old man.

"Ah Bian, it's time to pay the rent!"

Before the man could step through the door with one foot, he barged in with a high-spirited and loud voice.

Ji Mei was a little surprised, and subconsciously picked up the loose hair with her hands.

When the middle-aged man entered the door, what he saw was the Rhino God General, with a slim body pulling his hair up high.

Maybe it was the beginning of the day today, and the sun shone in through the stone window, rendering the originally brightly colored armor on the rhinoceros god's body extra dazzling, and even the people standing in front of the statue were particularly bright against the background.

After You Qi lifted up his long hair, the exposed neck was as white as a pile of snow, and the man's eyes suddenly lost everything, only the white glistening piece remained.

But Bai Huahua was only there for a moment, and Bai Huahua's owner quickly turned around, followed by his clever eyes.

"I only paid the rent at the beginning of the month, so why is it being urged again in the middle of the month? Could it be that the patriarch charged me too much and went to the city to hunt wild food!"

The middle-aged man is the current patriarch of the Jinyun clan, Jinyun Changsheng.

Jinyun Changsheng stared at him: "You're talking nonsense, how could the patriarch want to collect this money? Don't you know how many years the patriarch has been doing business for the grandson of the Xing family?"

"Hurry up and hand over the renter, don't be so long-winded!"

Ji Mei raised her chin and sneered: "Hehe, why should I be asked to pay the rent before it's been a full month? No!"

Jinyun Changsheng lifted his eyelids violently, and basically only the whites of the three white eyes remained, and the tricky and domineering energy was revealed at once, and his tone was vicious and fierce: "I lent you the Jinyun ancestral hall, just to see if you have no father. Poor mother, don’t be ignorant of what’s good or bad, the renter will pay you honestly, if you don’t, I’ll kick you out!”

Ji Mei listened quietly, and waited for Jinyun Changsheng to finish his harsh words, then smiled lightly and said, "Just in time, the squire in Mengjiazhuang wants me to go to his house to rent a house, and the firewood is cheap, so you don't have to pay for it." , I'm leaving now!"

While speaking, Ji Mei stretched out her hand and pulled out the basket under the square table, and was about to throw it over her shoulder.

This basket is all her belongings, if she carries it on her back, it is considered as a move.

Jinyun Changsheng saw that Ji Mei was acting serious, his hard face immediately softened, and he smiled again: "Look at you, you are a young man, you are all old neighbors, uncle said you are serious."

"Hey, your uncle has nothing to do with it. You have been going to the city all day long and you have heard the rumors. You don't know what kind of ostentation is going to happen in that fairy palace. The rent is tight. Your uncle was forced."

Although Jinyun Changsheng said it harshly, he also knew in his heart that the ancestral hall is no better than a household, and it is not easy to rent out.

Besides, although Ah Bian is a young man with no family, he is a good firewood for his shoulders and has never owed rent.

If he was really driven away, it might not be so easy to find him again.
